Melbourne botan. & zoolog. Garden,
3. Febr. 1859.
My dear Sir
You had the great kindness to offer to a collector of plants, who might be sent to your neighboorhood, your aid as far as lay in your power, of which generosity I am most anxious to avail my self. Pardon me therefore for recommending to your notice Mr Thozet, a modest intelligent and active man, now staying in your neighboorhood. Perhaps it could be arranged, that you could favor him with some suitable employment about the station, and he might add something to his earnings by forming collections of plants & seeds during spare hours.
Wishing you, dear Sir,
health and prosperity
I remain your obliged
Ferd. Mueller
Archer Esq
Fitzroy River.
P.S. Should you see Mr Aug. or Mr Henry Gregory or their younger brother pray give them my sincere respect.2
